Rachel, I can't tell you how much you've helped me! I'm a fashion major transitioning into UX and I kept coming back to rewatch this video over and over again to help me with my case study. Thank you and really proud of talented Malaysians like you!
Hey Joey, I'm really happy to hear that you are making good use of this video. It makes me happy knowing that people are actually gaining value from it! :)
@@celicagreen7255 just at a starting phase Celina ! unable to find any resources . But yeah , found a good RUclips channel named Ansh Mehra , you can check it out definitely.
Fantastic video! Your supplemental video effects and text were extremely helpful and allowed my low attention span to keep grip. Really great job, and I look forward to more amazing work!
I just found the best channel i need to follow , Thank you Rachel, this was very helpful, I just started learning, a month ago, I am on a self taught part.
Hi Rachel, just wanna say thanks for sharing all these knowledge with us! I'm now in the middle of transitioning into UI/UX, so your videos really inspired me a lot :) Keep it up and can't wait for your next video :D
I admire you so much! is so unbelievable how you learned UX Design in such a short time and if you can, then I can. I just got my copy and I'm doing my research point by point and writting down everything so I can understand better and review also when I'm feeling lost. I do appreciate all you do for us and also such a low price for this manual. You deserve the best! greetings from Panama.
Hey Rachel, I recently found your channel and I absolutely love your content, it is so practical and knowledgeable! It would be great if you could make a video on the major skill set to develop to become a Ux designer when you are self learning! Thankyou! Lots of love!😊💫
This is me on 2 Jan 2022. Your content is super relatable and yet I'm not in UI/UX space. Thanks for creating these helpful videos.. I especially love you can-do (figureoutable) mindset.
I have just started my ui ux design internship in a gaming industry. Luckily I found your video way more informative on designing case studies & what should beginners do for getting hired as compared to the other videos that I have watched till now. Thank so much for providing your valuable information, gonna implement it. 😊👍🏻
I’m new to this UX Design. I just watched your video and it already answered lots of question in my mind. Thank you for this video. Really appreciated this. 🙏🏻
Heyy Rachel, Can't thank you enough for solving almost all my doubts about this field... Your explanations are so clear,crisp and organised. Must watch for beginners in UI UX. Thank you very much 😊
Hi Rachel! I’ve watch some of your videos and love every single one!! Just wanna express my gratitude for all the great work you’re doing here that is helping me a lot in my journey!! Thank you!!
Hi Rachel, I love your videos. You have inspired to stay focused no matter how I am still finding ux challenging when designing in Google docs. Thank you sharing this.
Hi Rachel, thank you very much for the informative video and quality content! What I don’t understand is why your channel doesn’t have that many subscribers and viewers that you deserve! Keep up the good work!
Great content! Thank you very much. The little effects helped to visualise what you were saying to remember better, and they also allowed me to keep focusing throughout the video. I'm not a native English speaker but I can't find much answers in my language, so I'm very grateful for your videos. You got a new subscriber :)
Thank you very much for making this video. I recently found your channel, liked your content on product design, and inspired me. it would be great if you could make a video sharing how you worked with your team and the challenges you faced. Thank you !!!
I know I am very late with this comment, but this is so helpful for a new designer like myself, so thank you! How would you suggest forming a problem statement for a redesign in which you don't really have research for? Are there any helpful tools to gain already existing user research and/or insights for a redesign?
Thank you so much, Rachel. Please can you talk more about the type of case study a beginner can work on? I have not gotten a job yet, but I would love to build my portfolio before looking for a job. Thank you
“Anyone can make good designs” - I whole heartedly disagree with this statement. I’ve worked with so many “designers” that can talk well and make the most detailed case-study but their end products look out-dated and lacking aesthetically. Making a beautiful and functional product takes more skill than we give credit for. It’s a misconception that needs to end and is the reason UI pays less than UX even though without UI, products would not even get noticed.
I'm not sure this aged well because so many people are now simply copying designs or using AI. Creativity is also discouraged in the UI field thes days because we're essentially in a post design era. It's actually frustrating, though necessary cause HCI already has so much info that there's no need to reinvent the wheel and risk profits unless you're creating some super new app. But even before all this, copying designs was considered the norm with the influx of new designers in 2020 and developers didn't consider UI as a serious field because most could do it themselves without an entirely different hire(unfortunately) so it would have paid less regardless after a few years. Also I think separating UX from UI (as skillsets) is a mistake and an attempt to gatekeep anything that's considered technical. Anyway what is meant here is that without sharp design Thinking skills, you won't solve any problems even if you are very good at visual design...so yeah, I guess it should be "anyone can copy good designs, but not everyone can solve problems".
Hi Rachel, thank you so, so much for your advice and tips. I’m beyond grateful. I have finished my last Case Study, Design System Creation. How would you approach that kind of case study? Thanks for having my back!
I have recently discovered that I have a passion in UX design. Your videos have been SUPER helpful! Do I need to learn the basics of coding to become a UX designer?
For my case study, could I pick a top app in a category I am interested in, point out some weak points, and have a proposed design for an app I want to see built? Do my designs need to be already implemented or be turned into an app for my portfolio to be job ready? Thanks in advance. I’m just starting out in design, and I really appreciate your videos. They’re fantastic.
Rachel I'm just want to get started in Ui/ux design and I have been finding it hard to get the right books to read and the right mentor I was wondering if you would be of help to me
This video inspired me so much as a graphic designer transitioning into UI designer. I'd like to know if these case studies and processes are applicable to UI designers?
I love this guide, but i have a question! Why put Impact before the Process, testing and final design? Should the impact be the last before future steps, so you can at the end say what ALLL the process you did gave value and results? :D Hope you can explain this?
Thanks for the helpful tips! You say quite frequently how important it is to tailor the case studies to the role one is applying for. When I hear this I always ask myself who only applies for one specific role? Or would you recommend to publish several tailored portfolios with different selection of case studies for each role I want to apply for?
Gi Rachel!! Just started see your Chanel. And I was through your website, I loved how you explained each detail and how organized it is. I’m currently studying UX Design and see your work gave me some ideas. Thank you very much!!! Also I notice that in the routine breaker user description for the fave app on the job-to-be-done has a duplicated word. Hope you see this!! Thank you. 😁
I love the fact that the user can skip to the most relevant parts! How did you do the table of content on the left side in webflow? I wanna do the same but absolutely no clue how to do it
Hi, Thank you for sharing with us your knowledge, your experiences. I found this video so helpful, I just wondering how can I see one of your case study that you mentioned in this video? That would be great if you can kindly share one of those with us please.
Hi, thanks for sharing those useful information! I'm wondering as a junior designer, where can I find users to test my product? Can I just find my friends and family? Would that be convincible and reliable?
Hi Rachel thanks for sharing the tips! May I know if it is a red flag if I don't have metrics to show? I work in an agency and usually we handover the designs after we are done, so we don't get to measure anything.
Hi Rachel, I just wanted to say that I love your videos, quite interesting content. I have a question, how do you choose your music? Where do you find it? Thanks, - Cris.
Did you find this video helpful? What other videos would you like to see? Lemme know :)
It's very useful well explained. I would like to watch Interaction design videos.
Very insightful video Rachel! Would like to see more portfolio reviews videos!
I’m really inspired by your videos, can you please make a video about how to get jobs in Malaysia and salary range in Malaysia. Thank you

Thank you so much for this content. I'm having an imposter syndrome on UX/UI design just because i'm not presenting my works properly.
This is one of the most detailed and, at the same time, "right on the spot" videos about portfolios! Thanks a lot for the tips, Rachel!

Hey Rachel! Can we have your notion template please? Thank you!
Pls make a video on how to get clients from freelancing websites and how to deliver them the project
But do recruiters ACTUALLY have time to read an entire case study??
How do I display multiple phone pictures to show an app I created? like at 6:18 top left
Would be more grateful if you share the notion template 💗🥺
